Dan Quinn Presser: “We wanted to be a line of scrimmage team first”

Dan Quinn spoke to the media before the Washington Commanders hit the fields for the second practice of training camp. He talked about the emphasis on building up the line of scrimmage, saying if you’re strong there, you have a chance of being in every fight. Quinn was asked if this was to counter strengths in the NFC East, but said that was a byproduct of their overall strategy.

Quinn talked about adding future Hall of Famer Von Miller, and said the veteran pass rusher still has the qualities that made him great in his NFL career. You can’t teach the first step Miller possesses, and he still has the bend edge defenders need to beat tackles.
